Trial an opportunity to experiment

Newcastle Knights coach Nathan Brown looks forward to witnessing the culmination of more than three months of pre-season training on the football paddock when the Club lines up for a trial match against Wentworthville on Saturday.

“It’s going to be a good first hit out for a lot of the guys,” he said on Friday as the side underwent its final training run before the match.

“Apart from one or two of them, none of them played in the Nines so it’s their first game of the year and they will be looking to try some new things they’ve tried to adapt into their game and a change of structure.

“There were a couple of guys who played in the Nines who would benefit from playing a little bit more football. There’s a number of guys who play in this trial will put their hand up to go to Orange."
